I like it. There are only so many variations on red and white stripes, so saying it looks like Stoke, Sunderland, Exeter, Bilbao, Red Star Belgrade, Athletico is a bit daft. I'm just glad we've avoided some of the weird monstrosities of the past There was the two kits badly sown together at the shoulders. Complete with awful, tacky, plastic flybe logo which doesn't line up with the stripes and just generally looks like it was glued on over the top of another sponsor as a last minute after thought. Then there was the gold lettering because we're being sponsored by Lotus, except we aren't, which is good because you can barely see it anyway. I've not bought a Saints kit for 3 years since our pinstripe effort in the first season back up. I may buy this one as it looks decent.

I'd welcome Adkins back in a youth coaching capacity any day, sadly I think such roles are probably beneath a man of his talents.

Perhaps he has gone to the marbles forum, washing machine forum or 'TSF completes my life'. Them were the days!

I don't think it was me. Looking at the photos, my arse isn't that blurry.

The club will also be launching the 'Players Integrated Stripes Strategy - For Local Academy Players' in the near future.

Haha that was pretty good. I feared the worst after some of the embarrassing kit launches from various clubs in the past.

Not been on this thread in a while, I feel as if I have missed out.

Compared to Long, Delgado was a bargain.

I meant I don't remember people saying he wasn't good enough (in the Champ and L1) just because he had been relegated a few times. I never thought he was Premier League class either. Green being relegated doesn't mean HCn'tDAJFU. I don't rate him that highly but he is 3.5 years younger than Kelvin and a much higher calibre IMO.

You'd have to assume Green and most of the others at QPR have a relegation wage drop clause. As such we would probably only have to match wages of maybe £35-40k. Financially, if we were to sign him for near enough free, it's probably better than spending £2.2m on someone else AND their respective wages. For those talking about relegation Rob - Kelvin has been relegated with 3 different clubs and I don't remember any demands for him to be kicked out when he was Championship 'keeper of the season.

I'd sell him for half of that TBH.

Excellent news, hope this isn't just to push the price up in summer. Now can we sell Shane Long please.

Yoann Folly had an amazing agent.

What's the catch?

1-1 Lou. Away goals don't count in TMS. I'm not sure if Bearsy is really alluring enough to be the forum lady, I've heard he tends to dress rather matronly.

F**k sake Johnny, you're like a TMS Hooiveld.

I find this dreadfully sexist and outdated. The way those men a displayed as nothing more than sex objects disgusts me.

I meant 'after Bear' as in before everyone else. I'm not trying to get the clap off Hypo, honest.

Just so long as I get my go after Bear, or is it too late for that?

So I can do it again?

Some guys deserve to be raped though. If they go out dressed like that and get drunk, it's their own fault.

How come we've banned this guy after 2 posts but Dalek sticks around like a bad STD?

Not to mention the quotes in that thread are probably not entirely what Jack said. It was probably more like, "I knew I didn't really fit into Koeman's first team plans and I didn't have much of a future," as opposed to sitting in a corner crying because nobody loves him.

Any hint of Jay being on the bench for this one? Surely if he's going to make an appearance the last home game of the season would make sense. Would be a cruel irony if his comeback was at the very ground he got injured in the first place.

In his natural position Long has never done anything other than score 6-8 goals a season. He played up front at Sheff Utd and we were awful.
